Behind the long history is sadness and desolation, and famous cultural cities are often trampled by iron horses. The long years have created Luoyang and made it collapse. Emperor Xiaowen's life is inseparable from his stay in this city.
The Northern and Southern Dynasties were a chaotic dynasty in the history of China, and Emperor Xiaowen was a controversial emperor. Xin Shanglong, the author of this book, has just passed the age of weak crown and has been writing freely at a young age. A young man who is rare in a thousand years has such a vision. When he was 16 years old, he had published a collection of essays, Romantic Life in the Old Capital, which was widely praised in Henan and won many awards. For young people, these flowers and applause are honors, but they are also traps. However, a few years later, Xin Shanglong standing in front of me is still the modest and calm literary youth who is not frivolous. If Xin Shanglong's talent is rare, then his peaceful mind is even more valuable.
The Striking String of the Northern Wei Dynasty is another masterpiece of young authors. From beginning to end, the novel reveals wisdom everywhere, whether it is a power struggle or a spy war suspense. The plot is ups and downs, and the story develops unexpectedly and reasonably, often turning around at the end of the rope. The author writes freely and uses allusions without trace. Poetry and prose language can be seen everywhere, or thinking deeply about the world, or dialectical and objective about life and death. I put forward my own views on money, power, marriage, time, opportunity, fear and jealousy from a unique perspective. And try to apply the effect of TV lens to the novel, and strive to reflect the social outlook at that time in an easy-to-understand way. The novel is very rich in content, covering many fields of culture from Shang Dynasty to Northern Wei Dynasty, such as calligraphy, painting, sculpture, catering, urban construction, medicine and so on. , and marked with evidence, quite "encyclopedia", the author's erudition can be seen.
History is a topic of life constructed by time. The purpose of reading history is not only to know what happened in the past, but also to know what to do in the future. At present, it is always too vain to study tortoise shell bamboo slips without confirming them. There are many modern ideological elements in Emperor Xiaowen, and the ancient and the modern set each other off. Maybe what we see in the novel is all kinds of characters in the Northern Wei Dynasty, or that is ourselves.
This novel is not a masterpiece, but it has been written for a hundred years. If there are more younger generations like Xin Shanglong in the future, I believe that the literary world will be another scene. edge in

The Northern Wei Dynasty was a messy dynasty, and the reform process of Emperor Xiaowen lacked legendary stories. However, Xin Shanglong skillfully handled this difficult subject and grasped the truth and falsehood well, which made the plot ups and downs and interesting. The meticulous logical reasoning and novel and unique viewpoints in the book are also a highlight of this book.

A gifted scholar in Luoyang, with blood as ink, runs through history and reality. His language is concise and sharp, his logic is strict, and he is quite cologne-like, which is worth recommending. ———————————— Li (national first-class writer, chairman of Henan Writers Association)
China people have always had a deep affection for history and land. It is also the basic theme of literary writing to examine life from history and put it above land. Xin Shanglong is so young, but he can run through this kind of historical knowledge and life care in his writing. He not only looks back on the past, but also imagines and interprets the present and future life. The characters and stories of the Northern Wei Dynasty written by him in A String of Shocking the World have become living history. —— Xie Youshun (famous critic, professor of Chinese Department of Sun Yat-sen University, doctoral supervisor)
